Using AI to scan the social media posts of students at U.S. universities and then punish them for their views is discriminatory and a direct attack on our freedom of speech.

I have no doubt that there are many judges who care, but they still have essentially no enforcement power. So they can issue all the rulings they like.

This is the grotesque tracking AI made to track people in Gaza using govt data, social media, & more. What is Musk doing with our govt data? What is Bezos doing w Amazon cams, Alexa info, etc? All the big tech/social media ceos bowed before Trump's fascist regime: www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-...

…well, it’s a pretty normal to include Foreign Terrorist Organisations as reasons to revoke visas. Every country does this. It’s not discriminatory. Just don’t be on the FTO list. Hamas was put on the terrorist watch list on October 8, 1997.

What should worry people however, is how exactly is AI being used. AI is not exact and can hold bias, as is shown by the generative AI hallucinations so often seen. Additionally it’s a black box - no transparency to how it works.

The deliberate obtuseness belies its true cruel intentions: equating any and all public displays of outrage over the targeting and murder of civilians or sympathy for them with “support” for a terrorist organization that most of them don’t support. It’s violent suppression of dissent.

YOU’RE kidding, right? Since when is Hamas the same thing as the Palestinian people? Most Palestinians don’t support Hamas but can’t say it out loud or they’ll be “disappeared.” Students protest indiscriminate killing of all Palestinians - right down to newborns. It’s ~47,500+ now!
